WordNet::Tools - Some tools for use with WordNet.
use WordNet::QueryData;
use WordNet::Tools;
my $wn = WordNet::QueryData->new;

my $wnHashCode = $wntools->hashCode();
my $newstring = $wntools->compoundify("find compound words like new york city in this text");
This module provides some tools for use with WordNet. For example, the 'compoundify' method detects compound words (as found in WordNet) in a text string and it combines these words into single tokens using underscore separators. Another tool in this module generates a unique hash code corresponding to a WordNet distribution. This hash code is meant to replace the "version" information in WordNet, which is no longer reliable.
The following methods are defined:
This is a constructor for this class (and creates a new object of this class). It requires a WordNet::QueryData object as a parameter.
Parameters: $wn -- a WordNet::QueryData object.
Returns: a new WordNet::Tools object.
This is method identifies all compound words occurring in the given input string. Compound words are multi-word tokens appearing in WordNet.
Parameters: $string -- an input text string.
Returns: a string with compound words identified.
This is method returns a unique identifier representing a specific distribution of WordNet.
Parameters: none.
Returns: a unique identifier (string).
None by default.
